Quick and Easy Chicken Curry

When in doubt, simply go back to basics. This chicken curry is just that. This recipe is so versatile and can be used at various occasions. A simple breakfast of idli, dosa or appam or a light lunch with classic steamed rice or even at dinner parties with a side of Pav. I’ve even used it as soup …like the Indian version of a Laksa. Its tasty, easy, nutritious and can be made in a jiffy.  So fret not, Ive got you covered for a mid-week meal.
